by Leave a Comment

Every year I host a Gaming in the New Year party at my place on New Year's Eve. This year was no exception.

I have a group of my friends over and we play games through the night and early into the morning. We take a short break for pizza but basically it's about 12 hours of non-stop gaming.
I closed out 2018 and welcomed 2019 with 8 different games and 14 total plays. [ READ MORE ]

by Leave a Comment

First up, happy holidays to everyone reading this. I hope this season has been filled with games and gaming.

With 2018 coming to and end I thought this would be a good time to do a look back at the past year. The way the timing works out we will be recording our last podcast of the year on Boxing Day and that episode will release on New Years Day. So I thought this would make for a great discussion topic for that show.
I'm going to be looking at my most played games of 2018. I will follow that up with a list of some of the best new games of 2018 as well as my biggest surprise of 2018. [ READ MORE ]

What are some of the best two player board games for date night? – Ask The Bellhop

by 2 Comments

One of the first questions I answered here on the Tabletop Bellhop blog was "What are some good two player games?" This is, by far, the most popular post I've written. It's also one that I still get a lot of comments on. Many of those comments are asking me for more specific two player game recommendations. People want to know what are the best board games for couples, or games to play on date night.

Playing games is something my wife and I do together often. When we do have a night out without the kids it often involves a nice meal, some craft beer, and some gaming. Over the years we've found quite a few games that work great for when it's just the two of us. [ READ MORE ]
